      At the moment the only way to generate HTML pages is with scaffolding. It would be good to have a separate command to create HTML pages. Commands such as :

      html-new-page --named mypage

      This will create a mypage.html on the root of the webapp directory. You could also give a different directory with :

      html-new-page --named mypage --targetDirectory admin

      This will create the page under webapp/admin/mypage.html. 

      <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <title>mypage</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>mypage</h1>
</body>
</html>

      The name of the page mypage is used for the title but we could customize it :

      html-new-page --named mypage --title Administration Page

      It would just generate the following HTML page :

      <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Administration Page</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Administration Page</h1>
</body>
</html>

      If the page needs to be included in the welcome-file-list in the web.xml we could :

      html-new-page --named mypage --isWelcomePage
html-new-page --named mypage2 --isWelcomePage

      <web-app>
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>mypage.html</welcome-file>
    <welcome-file>mypage2.html</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

      If we want a page that redirects to somewhere else, we just type :

      html-new-page --named mypage --redirectsTo ./faces/index.xhtml

      <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=./faces/index.xhtml" /> 
<html>
<head>
  <title>mypage</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>mypage</h1>
</body>
</html>
